    homey.... what are you trying to do anyway? -- chroot a web browser??
    why?

    the thing is, if you are working with KDE edit the .kdesktop
    properties, go to advanced and run 'firefox' as an unprivileged
    user....

    if the program does not provide a service to others there is no much
    sense chrooting programs...

    if you need to run a program without privileges do su - $username -c
    "$program"

    or edit the icon properties...

    so, i think you should define why you are trying to 'chroot' a client
    program

    See ya
